"Wouldn't it be very... lively in the future?" Hongli originally wanted to say "annoyed", but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he changed it to the word "lively" insincerely.
"Don't worry, he just lost his temper temporarily. He will be fine after being locked up in the Buddhist hall for a few days to temper his temper." Ling Ruo comforted her like this, but she was not sure at all. Hong Shengxingzi
It's not that easy to turn around, and she can't lock him up for the rest of her life.
Seeing that Hongli still looked worried, he said, "Okay, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. Don't think too much about it."
No matter how Ling Ruo tried to persuade him, Hongli ate this meal absent-mindedly. After chatting with Ling Ruo for a while, Hongli came out and happened to see Shuixiu bringing the meal to Hong Sheng, so he said: "Give me the basket."
, I’ll send it to Third Brother.”
"It's better to send it to me as a slave." Shui Xiu was very clear about the conflict between Hong Li and Hong Sheng, and was afraid that the two would get into trouble again when they met.
"Don't worry, I won't conflict with him." Hongli saw her worries and made repeated assurances before Shuixiu reluctantly agreed.
When he arrived at the Buddhist hall, Hongli motioned to the young eunuch guarding outside to open the lock. At this time, the inside was quite tight and there was no sound.
After entering, he unexpectedly saw Hong Sheng cowering in a corner and crying. When he saw Hong Li coming in, he quickly wiped away his tears, stood up and said fiercely: "What are you doing here, are you laughing at me?"
I don't know why, but looking at his red eyes and the tears remaining on his cheeks, Hongli actually felt a little compassion. After all, the reason why Hongsheng was so impulsive tonight was because he was separated from his biological mother.
It's me, so maybe someone will do the same.
Thinking like this, without any intention of getting angry, he raised his basket and said, "I'll bring you food."
"Hmph, take it away, I won't eat it!" Hong Sheng was already so hungry that his stomach was rumbling. He missed his mother these days and never had a good meal. He didn't feel it before, but once he calmed down, he felt hungry.
Come. But facing Hongli, he would still bow his head even if he starved to death.
"It's up to you, I'll put it here anyway." Hongli shrugged and said nonchalantly. Seeing Hongsheng coming over, he added: "If you smash it, no one will clean it up, and no one will care if it goes rancid.
.”
This sentence made Hong Sheng, who was about to smash the basket of things, stop. If he really smelled the stench all the time, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him, but he refused to show weakness, "You guys wait, wait for me
When you get out, you must tell Huang Ama that you are imprisoning me!"
"Then we have to wait until we get out." Hongli didn't care. Hong Sheng was at fault in this matter, so he wouldn't be afraid even if he really brought the matter to Huang Ama.
When he was about to go out, he suddenly sighed and said: "Third brother, I know you are unhappy, but the matter has come to this, and it is useless for you to be unhappy. It is better to stay here for a while."
Hong Sheng couldn't hear it, and immediately scolded him: "You don't have to pretend to be kind here! Get out of here, get out of here right now!"
Hongli shook his head and left helplessly. Not many people could bear this kind of behavior. "I'll leave the things here. It's up to you to eat or not. But don't be surprised if you starve to death before returning to Yikun Palace."
My mother-in-law and I came together."
After he was left alone again, Hong Sheng tried to lift the food box several times but resisted. He didn't want to eat the things that Hong Li had touched. He groped his belly and huddled in the corner, trying not to let himself look at the food box.
, but I’m really hungry.
After enduring it for a while, he finally couldn't hold it back any longer. He went up to take out the vegetables and rice and ate it in big gulps. This was also the best meal he had ever had. He was really hungry.
Hong Sheng didn't know that Hong Li had been standing outside the window. When he saw him taking out the things and eating them, he left with satisfaction.
In the next few days, it was Hongli who brought meals to Hongsheng on behalf of Shuixiu, and occasionally talked to him a few words, mostly about what new lessons Master Zhu taught in class.
As for Yinzhen, Ling Ruo had told the matter as early as the second day. Yinzhen also thought that Hongsheng had been acting badly recently and should be punished.
When the news of cutting down on ice spread in the palace, everyone could not sit still. However, after Wu went to Yangxin Hall to complain and was scolded mercilessly by Yinzhen, no one dared to stop.
Go and ask for trouble; a scolding is a small thing, but falling out of favor is a big deal.
But this does not mean that they compromised. First they ran to the Queen's Palace. After learning that the Queen was ill and lying in bed and could not see anyone, they then ran to Chengqian Palace. Ling Ruo patiently listened to what they said one by one.
Just thinking in a roundabout way
Ask Ling Ruo to intercede in front of Yinzhen, don't cut the salary of Bing, even if you have to cut it, don't cut it too much. Now it can be said that it is almost 70% off. The clever Chen Guiren said
You can wait for the ice to melt before taking it out to rescue the victims.
Chen Guiren is the former Chen Gege. She was named Changli when Yinzhen ascended the throne. She was just promoted to a noble when summer came this year. Chen Guiren never dreamed that one day, she would be superior to the Nian family.
"Your Majesty, you are in charge of the palace now. You have to say a few words in front of the Emperor for us sisters. The weather is so hot. How can we bear the reduced use of ice? Even if the victims have no water to drink, they can still be like Chen
As the noble man said, wait for delivery
Let's take it out after the ice in our palace has melted. Why do we have to reduce the use of ice?" Dai Jia said with a sad face. She was originally relatively peaceful and rarely came out of the palace.
time, but this time she couldn’t sit still.”
"Concubine Cheng, I understand what you mean, but you should also understand that saving people is like putting out fire. You are comfortable here, but the people will have to suffer for a few more hours. Furthermore, in order to make ice cubes available in the palace,
When it melts, it releases the cool air it deserves, and a lot of salt is sprinkled on it. In this way, the ice water becomes salt water, so it can't be used anywhere."
"The best... the best is not to let go." Zai Jia said with some lack of confidence.
"If you don't add salt, you sisters should think it's not cool enough when the ice melts." Ling Ruo said slowly while shaking her fan, and then said: "Besides, this is the emperor's wish. How can I make the emperor change his mind?
Hasn’t Sister Ning already tried it?”
These words made Wu's face turn red and she fanned her six-edged round fan vigorously, feeling that Ling Ruo was deliberately trying to embarrass her.
Ling Ruo glanced at the people sitting below and said: "Well, this matter is only temporary. When it rains and the drought eases, the palace will continue to use ice. Before that, all sisters, please be considerate.
Let's do it, don't make it difficult for me."
"Yes!" Dai Jia and the others reluctantly agreed. After leaving Chengqian Palace, Wu said angrily to Dai Jia: "Sister, did you hear what Concubine Xi just said? Wait a minute.
After the rain, I will use ice as usual. It really doesn’t hurt my back to stand and talk. God can tell when it will rain. If it doesn’t rain in our life, we won’t be able to use ice in our life!”
Dai Jiashi quickly made a sign of silence and said: "Don't say anything, be careful of others listening. She is the third-ranked empress in the palace after all."
